Photographic Inspiration from a Surface Pattern Designer
These pictures were taken on holiday in Northumberland a few months ago. A compilation of shapes, shadows, lines and textures occurring from the elements. Next I will experiment with isolating shapes, and explore how they relate and contrast to one another. This will form the basis of a new surface pattern collection.
Juxtaposed shapes to play with.
Tonal greys highlighted with with a shot of bright yellow.
Repeating patterns with subtle changes in scale and form.
Free flowing branches soften bold hard edges.
Perspective guided by thick and fine lines.
Glass reflecting light and shadow highlighting contrasts.
London based Contrado, are a company that custom print and make high quality products on demand. Recently they came up with a fantastic idea, to create a platform for hand picked artists and designers to print their work onto a huge range of beautiful hand made products. Artists can focus on creating designs and artwork, whilst Contrado take care of production and distribution. Surely this is teamwork at it’s most efficient and a pragmatic approach to design and retail.
All products are made in the UK and most are ready in 1-2 days
